eBook Description: This unique collection, authored by Bram Stoker-nominated poet Sandy Deluca, includes four memorable stories. In addition you'll discover over fifty poems which read like mini tales of magic, fantasy, horror and forbidden love. The collection is presented in three parts and each teaches us some very interesting lessons about destiny. In Part I, "Paths of Wicked Women," you'll meet a young woman who is obsessed with the undead. She searches endlessly, walking nightly through the streets of Manhattan, in pursuit of her desires. She meets a charming and sensuous nightclub owner named Xavier. He draws her into "Vermilion Teardrop" and imprisons her in a world of blood, sex and heaven. In the end he ultimately grants all of her wishes. In Part II, entitled "Paths of Fantasy," Ms. Deluca explores other worlds. She takes you on a journey in "The Starship Neptune." In this science fiction thriller a predator lurks in the shadows of a generation starship. The author creates exotic references to distant planets and details artistic techniques used by alien painters. In the end a pact is made and blood pours throughout the spacecraft. Part III, entitled "Paths of Destiny," explores spirituality, witchery and the secrets of the female soul. In her story "Paths of Destiny" Ms. Deluca introduces you to two female artists. They are from different backgrounds, but their souls are linked. They come together during a crippling New England blizzard and discover that their destinies are one.

Complicated Creation It began with string
and dust from the sweatshop
on the edge of town;
while murmuring prayers
from Gramma's prayer book
the weaver woman,
mixed the soldier's semen
into the vat of blue dye She pricked her fingers and
plunged the needle tip
into her eye;
blood dribbled into thread
and stitch;
all stored in her womb
until morning She slept when the sun went into
Sagittarius;
the fairies came through the veil,
and plunged moon seeds up the slimy hole A week before Yule
I poked my head out,
blinked blue eyes from the fae world;
hair from remnants on
the factory floor
shined beneath colored lights
I wasn't what was planned,
hands of magic and
soul from another world Now the weaver woman
curses when earthen angels
creep into my bed,
they tell me secrets,
pour ointment into my palms Tonight they've brought nails
and a cross made of Roman oak;
the garden is plowed,
the cats have been fed fish and
soon we'll sew my creator's lids shut
and hang her in the cornfield Copyright © 2003 by Sandy DeLuca
